The Financial Crisis as the Second 9/11
The failure to connect the dots, dismissal of warnings as unfounded,
declarations of unexpected calamity, calls for urgent action by
government to prevent greater disaster, insistence that Congress and
the Administration must act immediately, frightening secret briefings
by those who claim to know what has led to the emergency and what must
be done to handle it, public assurances that while the nation is in
jeopardy wise heads have a plan for protection, with continuing risk
to be borne by all Americans, those responsible for a solution to be
trusted in the future even though they failed in their responsiblities
to prevent the crisis, and don't waste time questioning who was
responsible for the failure now is the time to plan for the future.

That the problem is due to the US dropping its guard, being complacent
about its superiority, not recognizing threats different from those
well-known in political and military terms. And failing to see that a
national threat has come from a source that no sensible person could
have foreseen, sure a few gloom and doomers raised alarms about
incomprehensible financial dealings, but who could believe those
obsessed with imaginary hazards to the financial market.

Financial power has shifted from the US to Asia and the Middle East,
some say, and who knows, maybe that was the plan -- to outfox the US
masters of the financial universe who believed that nobody better knew
global economics, and no nation could challenge military protection of
the US economy.

Since 9/11 the second 9/11 was predicted to happen in a way that could
not be anticipated, that its success would depend on bypassing
defenses derived from the first 9/11. Not nuclear, biological or
chemical, but financial. Why target a few thousands when millions can
be harmed using the institutions and technologies invented for global
commerce supremacy -- hi-jacked airliners a mere test run.

The confused rush to handle the financial crisis with piecemeal
reactions developed over a couple of weeks is likely to have been
anticipated by attackers to panic their targets while continuing to
withdraw funds from US institutions, picking them off one by one,
assured that no military countermeasure is possible so long as targets
cannot be identified in time to halt the aggression.

Or is there an armageddon military spasm in the offing of wounded
warriors unable to pinpoint targets so goes for all in the database of
those who invented, inflicted, condoned and avoided punishment for
debt WMD.

Title 3--
The President

                Notice of September 18, 2008

                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                Respect to Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or
                Support Terrorism

                On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, I
                declared a national emergency with respect to persons
                who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism,
                pursuant to the International Emergency Economic
Powers
                Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). I took this action to deal
                with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the
                national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
                United States constituted by the grave acts of
                terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by
foreign
                terrorists, including the terrorist attacks in New
                York, in Pennsylvania, and against the Pentagon
                committed on September 11, 2001, and the continuing
and
                immediate threat of further attacks against United
                States nationals or the United States. Because the
                actions of these persons who commit, threaten to
                commit, or support terrorism continue to pose an
                unusual and extraordinary threat to the United
States,
                the national emergency declared on September 23,
2001,
                and the measures adopted on that date to deal with
that
                emergency, must continue in effect beyond September
23,
                2008. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of
                the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I
am
                continuing for 1 year the national emergency with
                respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or
                support terrorism.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal
Register
                and transmitted to the Congress.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, September 18, 2008
